What is your favourite tarot card?

[illyria]

The Death card. Seeing it means a natural, organic, inevitable end. Endings bring a lot of wisdom with them, and I could do with such wisdom.

Like EmpyreanKnight before me, The Emperor is also my birth card, in addition to Death.

Death and The Emperor, certain, like death and taxes.

Temperance! I love Temperance and the Empress and Death in the majors. And also the Hierophant, poor old guy, doesn't get any love... and Lust, of course.

In the minors, I love the Ace of Disks and of Cups, Nine of Wands, Four of Wands, Six of Disks, Nine of Disks, Nine of Cups, Queen of Cups, Princess of Disks... so many cards.

(Thinking Thoth here of course)

Hey illyria! I'm so glad to see you around here again. It's nice to know you're an Emperor too. Biddy's Tarot blog presents three very different ways of calculating a birth card, and in all three of them, the final sum always resolved to a 4 for me, so yeah I guess I'm stuck with this fella.

And you're quite ballsy for choosing Death. I like that.

My fave cards in most decks are the 9 of Pents (I love the solid stability of the Pents suite, especially as portrayed in this serene card of a woman enjoying the fruits of her labours) and also I like the Sun card. And the Aces. I'm rather fond of the 3 of Pents, as well.

the Moon, always the moon. I'm always on the lookout for moon cards from broken decks

Nine of Swords

This is going to sound weird, but I like the Nine of Swords the most at the moment. Not that I like to see it in a reading, but I feel an odd sort of kinship to that card. I don't subscribe to the "cruelty" interpretation; rather, I think it means faithfulness, devotion, sacrifice. If there's any cruelty, it is only cruelty to the self, in the sense that one has chosen to sacrifice oneself for the sake of something else. But the decision to sacrifice is misguided. The faith, devotion--all misguided. The person needs to learn to let go. So it's not really a positive card, but I can relate to it.

I have no one favourite card that I prefer in all decks.

But I have one favourite card overall: the Granny Jones version of Temperance.

An older woman with a twinkle in her eye and a deeply warm smile, offering the observer a cup of tea.

I was poorly mothered in life: when I need mothering, I simply go to that card, and have a cup of tea with my *real*, my loving mother.

 

[FLizarraga]

The Moon as well.

I could try to intellectualize it and write a pretentious, long-winded post about my reasons for liking that card, but in real life it just does something for me. Like, say, chocolate.

 

[NightMagic628]

I would say the Moon and Star cards. I've always been drawn to them.
